Phase Angle for Total or Absolute Pressure

LaTeX Go Phase Angle = acos((Absolute Pressure+(Mass Density*[g]*Seabed Elevation)-(Atmospheric Pressure))/((Mass Density*[g]*Wave Height*cosh(2*pi*(Distance above the Bottom)/Wavelength))/(2*cosh(2*pi*Water Depth/Wavelength))))

Atmospheric Pressure given Total or Absolute Pressure

LaTeX Go Atmospheric Pressure = Absolute Pressure-(Mass Density*[g]*Wave Height*cosh(2*pi*(Distance above the Bottom)/Wavelength))*cos(Phase Angle)/(2*cosh(2*pi*Water Depth/Wavelength))+(Mass Density*[g]*Seabed Elevation)

Total or Absolute Pressure

LaTeX Go Absolute Pressure = (Mass Density*[g]*Wave Height*cosh(2*pi*(Distance above the Bottom)/Wavelength)*cos(Phase Angle)/2*cosh(2*pi*Water Depth/Wavelength))-(Mass Density*[g]*Seabed Elevation)+Atmospheric Pressure

Friction Velocity given Dimensionless Time

LaTeX Go Friction Velocity = ([g]*Time for Dimensionless Parameter Calculation)/Dimensionless Time
